It's hard to see myself out there alone
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
People starin' 'cause I got no home
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Nowhere to lay my head, so I just walk on
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Searchin' for somethin', daylight 'til dawn
Dm Em Am
When I had taken about all I could take,
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Oh no, where's my life goin'
Dm Em Am
Livin' blindly to the difference you'd make
F G
Your love was tender but strong, you were there all along
Am F
If it wasn't for you
C G
There'd be no one to make me try
Am F
If it wasn't for you
C G
I'd just stand here and cry
Am F
If it wasn't for you
C G
Who would care if I lived or died
Fmaj7
If it wasn't for you
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Now I know I'll get through
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I don't know how it got to be this way
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
The hope of life just seemed to slip away
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Can I find the strength to face another day
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I can't pretend now, want it to end now
Dm Em Am
When I had taken about all I could take,
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Oh no, where's my life goin'
Dm Em Am
Livin' blindly to the difference you'd make
F G
Your love was tender but strong, you were there all along
Am F
If it wasn't for you
C G
There'd be no one to make me try
Am F
If it wasn't for you
C G
I'd just stand here and cry
Am F
If it wasn't for you
C G
Who would care if I lived or died
Fmaj7 Fm
If it wasn't for you
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Now I know I'll get through
Solo
Am F C G
If it wasn't for you - who could I turn to
Am F C G
If it wasn't for you
Am F C G
If it wasn't for you - I'd feel my heart break in two
Am F C G
If it wasn't for you - yeah, what would I do
